Is there any other way to do a restoration ???? Rear wiring, trunk lock hardware, fuel tank and associated parts all out today. Just have the shocks left to get off, some brackets underneath, and the fuel and brake line under the car. Thinking next week I can get it on a rollback and get it to the Stripper...
You going with acid dip?
Yeah. I can separate the rods where they come down and go with an angled piece of maybe 14 gauge?

Be sure and set up some practice pieces to dial in your temp. Settings. Oddly enough sometimes welding that kind of stuff while counterintuitive setting just a bit hotter is actually better. That way you can hit it and get off super quick. You hang around and the whole thing turns to poo. (Where is Karl?)
Yeah... The crawl around on the concrete and work upside down while using jack stands way..
Looks great Mitch
No poo allowed...
check the thickness of the metal that's tehre and go with that.. 14 sounds too thick but i don't know the part
The area at the hump and the drivers side are good. I'll measure those

16 gauge is actually right at 1/16th of an inch. 14 ga is a bit thicker! Not a lot of 14 ga in there but I am not familiar with your car? But I would guess @Icetech is correct 14 is like a welders dream, very thick. Remember welders and hookers have similar demands.
More heat
More rod
More money
No, I have a guy local that will media blast it. I'll take it to him on the rotisserie. He knows what he's doing, uses many different media's. He got started in Marine doing Boat bottoms mobily, after they were hauled out of water. Lot and Lots of Boats around here. 4 years ago , he built a huge building at his farm to blast in. He has done a lot of cars. I'll be sure that we discuss What Media is to be used.....
Favor the 14 and push to the puddle to the thinner existing metal.
i never thought bout it but 14ga would make **** sooo much easier
Frozen Pizza off the grill night.

Well the Mal is now in charge of wheel alignments at our house. New pup went to school today.
Just look at these Antiques !!!!!!!
Got to wonder how long those were on this 70 Cuda. He probably had some big old wide tires on the back that wouldn't fit in the wheel wells..
